UNSPSC 85663367: Replacement of left shoulder tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left shoulder tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0LR20KZ

UNSPSC 85663367 Replacement of left shoulder tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and related health services administration—none of which align with orthopedic surgical procedures or implant materials. State and local issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System have posted solicitations under this code for medical services and benefits management rather than surgical implants or procedures.

The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The issuing-body mix spans state departments, counties, cities, and county health systems. Geographic activity includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida across the recent postings. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (RTMRFP26001); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs due October 7, 2026 (HR26753), covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures through Centers of Excellence; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 (RFP20260825), requiring board-certified occupational medicine physicians across 14 Washington State ferry locations. The mismatch between code nomenclature and solicitation scope suggests a classification error rather than an active procurement category for orthopedic implant services at the state and local level.
